Im 14 , got my wings last year, learnt a few things

1) The engine WONT start without the glow driver
2) Watch the prop when killing the engine ( Caught my finger, pretty good cut)
3) Extend Your Antenna fully Before taking off
4)USE LOTS OF ELASTIC BANDS ( Used about 8 on my LT-40, slow control response, wouldnt pull out of a loop till last second)
